I think it would be great to play them. As long as it substitutes for a different low rated team at Williams Arena. Would bring more fans and would be fun. I'd rather play UST than some directional school.
Totally fair opinion and comparison. Your information makes me tend to agree with you, and I do think that Fleck has built something fairly sustainable. Going off 9 year comparables I would take NW. Over the past 30 its maybe a bit tougher, NW had some really bad teams. (Guess MN did too)
To each their own I guess. I would take NW over Illinois - but I think NW Rose bowl might be more than 30 years ago...I think 94 or 95 cant remember.
NW and MN would be close for me, I lean MN but that might be the homer in me.
